You can arrange with your bank to pay your rates by telephone or internet banking. When you contact your bank to set up the payments you will need to give them your property number which is on your rates bill.

As the Council has several different functions, payments made must be specific to the account to which they are to be credited.

Details supplied for telephone or Internet banking to the Council must therefore be set out as:

Bank

Westpac Trust, Hastings

Account

03 0642 0281000 00

Particulars

Reference

Property reference number:e.g. "property No 12345".

Where one transfer is made for several accounts - for example three rate accounts, a water account and a building application - we can process these if a schedule is emailed on the day the payment is made marked "Attention Bank Management Officer".

Additional charges for late payments

A penalty of 10% will be added to any portion of rates or any portion of water supplied by meter assessed in the current year which remains unpaid by the relevant installment due date.

Any portion of rates or any portion of water supplied by meter assessed in previous years (including previously applied penalties) which remain unpaid on the 19 July 2018, will have a further 10% added, firstly on 20 July 2018, and if still unpaid, again on 21 January 2019.
